A Fish Scale–Derived Collagen Matrix as Artificial Cornea in Rats: Properties and Potential

Abstract

In spite of technical difficulties, it was feasible to use the FSCM for ALK, whereas IL placement led to melting of the anterior lamella. Further studies are necessary for better understanding of its immunogenicity. The light scatter and transmission data show that the first version of this FSCM is comparable to human cornea tissue in this respect.
